This morning, we released an update that fixed minor bugs and made enhancements to the user interface. None of the updates were critical. Among them were the following:

Spelling Errors

Several pages in the properties area contained misspelled words. For instance, in the email settings tab, the booking confirmation page had a title with the word "Confirmaton" that was corrected to "Confirmation".

Custom Paragraphs Not Showing Up On Email

For some users, the custom paragraphs for the booking confirmation email were not showing up on the actual email sent to the guest. The paragraphs would display properly in the user interface and in the preview mode but not in the actual email that was delivered to the guest.

Failed Payments and Security Deposits Attempted Multiple Times

Scheduled payments and security deposits are only supposed to be collected one time, whether they succeed or fail. Previously, if the collection succeeded, which is what happens most of the time, the collection never tries again. However, if the collection fails, certain internal errors were causing the scheduled payment or security deposit to be attempted again the following day - which, of course, would simply fail again. These errors were found and corrected. Now, if the scheduled payment or security deposit fails to be collected, it will not try again.

Occasional Errors On Date And Charges Tabs

In the bookings area, some users would occasionally see errors if they clicked on the Date or Charges tab for a booking.

All of these errors, and others, have been fully fixed and tested. The version number for this update is 0.7.1.

The OwnerRez Blog is live!

We've just released the new website. With it comes a new blog and forums area so our customers can get more visibility into the features we're working on. Please click around and let us know what you think.

Those of you that have had questions, comments and feedback on the application - it's time to let loose. Register for a forum account, and let us have it. We value every bit of feedback you have. We've already gotten loads of feedback by email so we'll enter that into the forums so others can review it.

The support/docs area is still not finished. We're integrating that directly into the application so it needs a little more work. We want to make sure that that's solid before pushing out a first release.

Use the RSS buttons over on the right (or on the bottom of every page) to stay up on our feeds. And make sure to sign up for newsletters. Those will be going out twice per month.

More soon to come. Thanks again to all our early testers!
